LABOUR rebels threatening to break away and form a new centre party are “getting boring,” a source close to the Labour leader has told the Morning Star.

Reacting to the Observer’s latest front-page story about an imminent split, this time by only half a dozen right-wing Labour MPs, the source said: “They should just go. It’s getting boring.

“Every few months they pipe up with the same broken story. Honestly: just go. But sadly, in reality, they are not going anywhere.”
